      Abstract:Objective:To construct the recombinant adenovirus(Rad) with expressing inhibitor 1 of differentiation(Id1),and to estab-lish its animal model. Methods:AdEasy-Id1,the recombinant adenovirus plasmid which had been constructed previously,was pack-aged in HEK293 cells to obtain recombinant adenovirus Id1(RAd-Id1). Then the titer of virus was determined by green fluorescent protein(GFP) labeling method. The over-expression efficiency of Id1 was measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot in HepG2 cells infected with RAd-Id1,and the effect of Id1 on proliferation of HepG2 cells was detected by MTS assay. Animal model of Id1 expressing in liver tissue was established through the way of tail vein injection of RAd-Id1. In order to determine the suitable load of RAd-Id1 virus for infecting the mice,viral load gradient exper-iment was divided into PBS control group,RAd-GFP control group and RAd-Id1 experimental group(n=5/group). Time gra-dient experiment examined once every 5 days as a group,a total of 7 group(n=5/group),to explore the appropriate time. The expression of Id1 as well as the changes of alpha fetal pro-tein(AFP) and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) in liver tissues were determined by Western blot. The level of Id1 antibody and the concentrations of AFP and CEA in serum were detected by ELISA. Results:Recombinant adenovirus plasmid containing Id1 gene was successfully established,then the corresponding adenovirus were acquired and the measured titer was 1.5×1011 GFU/mL. Western blot and qRT-PCR analysis showed that Id1 mRNA and protein levels significantly increased in HepG2 infected with RAd-Id1 for 48 h and 72 h respectively(P<0.01). MTS assay reported that the values in RAd-Id1 group were higher than those in NC group and RAd-GFP group after 96 h(2.00±0.06 vs. 1.18±0.05,2.00±0.06 vs. 1.10±0.07;F=51.350,P=0.000);Western blot results showed:when compared with PBS group and RAd-GFP group,the RAd-Id1 group’s levels of Id1 as well as AFP and CEA in liver was higher. ELISA results showed:the concentrations of AFP and CEA in serum were positively correlated with the load of RAd-Id1(rs AFP=0.903,PAFP=0.014;rs CEA=0.964,PCEA=0.002). There was no significant difference among these concentrations of Id1 antibody in serum of mice infected with different load of RAd-Id1(P>0.05). Conclusion:The RAd-Id1 is successfully constructed,which serves as the vector tool to study the effect of Id1 on hepatic neoplasm at the cellular level. Mouse animal model of RAd-Id1 accompanied with the elevation of both AFP and CEA in liver also has been successfully established by tail vein injection,which suggests that the ectopic expression of Id1 may be related to the expression of AFP and CEA,but further studies will be required to determine how the mecha-nism works.

      Abstract:Objective:To investigate the effects of exogenous SDF-1αdelivery or EPCs transplantation or SDF-1αcombined with EPCs transplantation on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injuryed rats. Methods:EPCs were extracted from bone marrow of LEWIS rats and cultured for days for phenotype identification with flow cytometry and functional identification with confocal laser. The orthotopic liver transplantation models were established in mice,which were divided randomly into five groups:A group,sham group;B group,surgery group;C group,SDF-1α group;D group,EPCs group;E group,SDF-1α+EPCs group. The rats were euthanased after 12 h reperfusion,and the liver tissues in each group were assayed with immunohistochemistry for liver regeneration and HGF ex-pression. The protein levels of VEGF,HGF,TGF-β,Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 in each group were assayed with Western blot,and the expression of VEGF,HGF and TGF-β in liver homogenates with ELISA. Results:The CD34 and CD133 positive rates of EPCs extracted from LEWIS rats were 78.32% and 70.76 respectively,and the binding capacity of ac-LDL and UEA-1 in EPCs accounted for over 80%. The number of EPCs(79.6±6.3) induced by SDF-1αwas significant higher than that in control group(36.2±2.9)(P=0.000). In liver tissues of each group,the immunohistochemical scores in C and D groups of HGF secretion and liver regeneration were significantly higher than those in A and B groups(P=0.000),and the immunohistochemical scores in E group was significant higher than those in C and D groups(P=0.000). The results of proteins ex-pression showed that the expressions of VEGF,HGF,TGF-β and Bcl-2 proteins were higher in C and D groups than in A and B groups(P=0.000);the expressions of VEGF,HGF and TGF-β proteins were significantly higher in E group than in C and D groups(P=0.000),but there was no significant difference in Bcl-2 expression among C,D,E groups. The expressions of Caspase-3 protein were significantly higher in B,C,D groups than in A group(P=0.000),but the expression of Caspase-3 was significant lower in E group than in C and D groups(P=0.000). The ELISA got the same results. Conclusion:Exogenous SDF-1α delivery combined with EPCs transplantation produces a superior protective effect on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injuryed rats,which could induce the re-generation of liver and reduce hepatocyte apoptosis.

Mice were treated by intraperitoneal injection for 5 weeks. The serum concentration of IFNα,antibodies of interferon(Anti-IFN) and the im-munostaining result of alexin C3 were determined to evaluate the immunogenicity effect. In addition,the body weight,organ index,hematologic traits and histopathological examination were determined to evaluate the immunotoxicity effect. Results:For the concen-tration of serum IFN,group A(9.27±0.79) was higher than group C(7.80±1.26)(P=0.000);group B(7.91±1.09) was higher than group D(5.97±0.98)(P=0.013). For the concentration of Anti-IFN,group A(7.49±1.30) was lower than group C(10.31±0.69)(P=0.000); the group B(6.18±1.02) was lower than group D(8.24±0.74)(P=0.013). For the kidney immunohistochemistry,group A(0.51±0.00) was lower than group C(0.54±0.00)(P=0.000);group B(0.42±0.00) was lower than group D(0.47±0.00)(P=0.013). For the weight gain,group A was lower than group C(P=0.015);group B was lower than group C(P=0.003). There was no significant difference between the experimental group and the N group when comparing the kidney index,liver index,and spleen index. Levels of WBC,PLT,MCH,and LY in group A,B,C and D were higher than those in the N group,and were lower than those in the group P(P<0.05). There was no significant difference among the IgA,IgM and IgG in the immunoglobulin test results. There was no significant pathological change in spleen slices in the experimental group. Conclusion:There is significant difference between IFNα-2a and IFNα-2b for immunogenicity. Moreover,there is no significant difference between IFNα-2a and IFNα-2b for immunotoxcity.

      Abstract:Objective:To investigate the effect of B cell lymphoma 6 member B(BCL6B) on the proliferation and migration of human colorectal cancer cell line HCT116,and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods:Quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) and Western blot were used to detect and compare the endogenous expression of BCL6B in FHC and HCT116 cells. Liposome method was used to transfer the pcDNA3.1-BCL6B to HCT116 and the control group with empty vector was set. MTT assay,flow cytometry,wound healing assay and transwell chamber assay were used to detect the influence on proliferation,cycle and migration ability of cancer cell. Western blot was adopted to detect the expression of β-catenin,p-GSK3β,CyclinD1,MMP-7 and E-cadherin. Results:According to qPCR and Western blot,BCL6B expression was notably repressed in HCT116 cells as compared with FHC cells(P=0.017),and expression of BCL6B was significantly increased in HCT116 cells after transfection with pcDNA3.1-BCL6B for 48 h(P=0.000). Compared with those in the control group,the OD492 value of HCT116 cells at the 4d time-point was decreased by 41.79% (P=0.040),and the percentage of cells in G1 phase was increased by 62.09%(P=0.001),48 h wound healing rate and transmembrane cells of HCT116 cells in the BCL6B group were significantly reduced(P=0.001). The protein levels of β-catenin,p-GSK3β,CyclinD1 and MMP-7 of HCT116 cells in the BCL6B group were dropped by 65.66%(P=0.028),62.03%(P=0.001),60.87%(P=0.021) and 50.88%(P=0.030),respectively. E-cadherin was increased by 63.64%(P=0.018). Conclusion:BCL6B inhibits the proliferation and migration of HCT116 cells,and its mechanism may involve in the inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

      Abstract:Objective:To study interaction sites of the glucose-regulated protein 78 kD(GRP78) with pre-S1 protein(PreS1) of hep-atitis B virus(HBV). Methods:Being amplified by PCR,the open reading frame of GRP78 was subcloned into pW28 and expressed in Escherichia coli(E.coli) B834. The GRP78 protein was purified by nickel affinity chromatography column. Three truncated plasmids of HBV PreS1,including pGST-PreS1-X1,pGST-PreS1-X2,pGST-PreS1-X3,were expressed in B834 and then the bacterial protein was purified by GST affinity chromatography column. Interactions between GRP78 and PreS1 truncations were detected by pull down and microscale thermophoresis(MST). Results:The recombinant plasmid of pW28-GRP78 was successfully constructed. The GRP78 protein and the fusion protein(GST-PreS1-X1,GST-PreS1-X2,GST-PreS1-X3) were obtained. The directly interaction between GRP78 and fusion protein were detected by pull down and MST,suggesting that the 1-65 amino acid residues of PreS1 play a key role for GRP78 binding to PreS1. Conclusion:Thanks to the molecular cloning and purified technology of protein purification,the fu-sion protein of GRP78 protein and the PreS1 truncated seg-ments is formed. And interaction sites of GRP78 protein and the PreS1 is primarily compared,providing preliminary data for future study.

      Abstract:Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of plasma exchange (PE) plus continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) on pre-liver failure. Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data in the 49 patients with pre-liver failure. Twenty-nine pa-tients were treated by PE combined with CHDF based on medical supporting treatment and 20 patients were treated by medical sup-porting treatment alone. Their therapenutic effects on biochemical parameters and clinical outcome were observed and compared be-tween the two groups. Results:Symptoms such as fatigue,poor appetite,and jaundice were relieved after non-biologic artificial liver support system(NBALSS). The levels of C reactive protein(CRP),interleukin(IL)-6,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),total bilirubin (TBIL) after treatment decreased,and serum prothrombin activity(PTA) level increased in the PE plus CHDF group. While,all of the biochemical indictors after treatment differed significantly between the two group(all P<0.05). Patients in the treatment group had a significantly higher improvement rate( χ2=5.935,P=0.015) compared with that in the control group. Conclusion:The curative effect of PE plus CHDF based on medical supporting treatment is more remarkable than that of medical supporting treatment alone;therapeutic PE plus CHDF significantly increases the improvement rate of patients with pre-liver failure.

      Abstract:Objective:To explore the clinical effect of ultrasound-guided transverses abdominis plane(TAP) block combined with in-travenous anesthesia in laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery. Methods:Patients of 84 with laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery were selected and divided into two groups according to the random number table method. The control group was treated with total intra-venous anesthesia,while the observation group was treated with ultrasound-guided TAP block on the basis of the control group. The visual analogue scale(VAS) score,postoperative recovery and adverse reaction were compared and analyzed. Results:VAS scores at 1,4,8,12 and 24 h in the observation group was significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). After the operation of 48 h,the first remedy pain time(11.67±1.23) h in the observation group was significantly longer than that in the control group (4.32±1.21) h,with statistically significant difference(t=27.607,P=0.025). After 48 h of operation,the recovery time of the gastroin-testinal tract was without significant difference in both two groups(P>0.05). As for pain in right shoulder,there were 12 patients (28.57%) in the observation group and 16 patients(38.10%) in the control group,without significant difference( χ2=0.857,P=0.355). None of the patients had adverse reactions such as respiratory depression,skin itching,vomiting,nausea and mental disorders. Conclusion:Implementing the full-time intravenous anesthesia combined with ultrasound-guided TAP block in the laparoscopic gas-trointestinal surgery can effectively reduce postoperative pain and prolong the first remedy analgesia time,with clinical pro-motion value.

      2018, 43(1):72.

      Abstract (165) HTML (0) PDF 873.14 K (178) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Objective:To analyze the survival rate and the risk factors in patients with biliary atresia(BA) who underwent portoen-terostomy(Kasai) procedure. Methods:Totally 132 patients with biliary atresia who underwent Kasai procedure from Janunary 2007 to Janunary 2014 were recruited to this study. Data including age for Kasai procedure,presence of cirrhosis at the time of operation,use of steroids after operation and CMV infection were input in SPSS 19.0. Survival rates of the patients were calculated by life table. Kaplan-Meier method and COX proportional hazards model were used to analyze the suspected risk factors of survival. Results:During the 7-year follow up,35 survived and 97 were dead among all 132 subjects. The median follow up time of survival patients were 53.3(from 12 to 86.17) months. one-,two- and five-year survival rate were (32.0±6.0)%,(26.0±4.0)% and (24.0±4.0)% respec-tively. The survival rates for use of steroids after Kasai procedure or not were 43.9% vs 18.7%(P=0.027). While the survival rates of cirrhosis at the time of the Kasai procedure or not were 18.9% vs. 36.2%(P=0.037). Steroid and cirrhosis were regarded as main af-fecting factors for survival rate according to Kaplan-Meier method. However,only the usage of steroid was the solo independent risk factor for survival rates after Kasai procedure by COX proportional hazards model(RR=0.602,95%CI=0.377 to 0.964,P=0.034). Conclusion:Kasai procedure is an effective treatment for pa-tients with BA,and proper usage of steroids after Kasai opera-tion seems to be one of the important treatments to elevate the survival rate.

      Abstract:Objective:To explore the impact of CD57+ natural killer(NK) cells and macrophages CD68+ on the survival conditions of patients with primary esophageal cancer. Methods:Clinical data of 96cases of primary esophageal cancer from June 2013 to June 2015 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Infiltration levels of CD57+ NK cells and macrophages CD68+ were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining method. The relationship between cells infiltrating level and the pathological characteristics was ana-lyzed. CD5+ NK and CD68+ macrophages relations with TNM staging,and the effect of cell infiltration on the survival conditions of primary esophageal cancer patients were analyzed. Results:The degree of infiltration of CD57+ NK cells in the epithelium of patients with primary esophageal carcinomawas 64.58% and that of CD68+ macrophages was 51.04%. There was no significant correlation be-tween the level of CD57+ NK cells and CD68+ macrophages in the epithelium of patients with primary esophageal carcinoma and the age,sex,tumor size,N stage,T stage and TNM staging(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in CD57+ NK cells and CD68+ macrophage counts between CD57+ NK cells and CD68+ macrophages in primary esophageal cancer patients(P>0.05). CD57+ NK cells and CD68+ macrophage counts were (8.35±5.36)/HP and (39.43±14.05)/HP respectively at stageⅠ-Ⅱ,significantly higher than those at stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ[(5.34±4.55)/HP,(20.18±9.62)/HP](P<0.05). The effect of cell infiltration on the survival of patients with primary esophageal cancer was analyzed by Cox model (Forward:LR,introducing α=0.05,excluding α=0.10). The low level of death of CD57+ NK cells in tumor tissue of patients with primary esophageal cancer had a high risk of death(P=0.046,RR=0.794,95%CI=0.633 to 0.996). The high level of death of CD68+ macrophages in tumor tissue of patients with primary esophageal cancer had a high risk of death(P=0.000,RR=1.925,95%CI=1.364 to 2.717). Conclusion:CD57+ NK cells and CD68+ macrophages infiltration level can reflect the body’s immune status. CD57+ NK cells and CD68+ macrophage infiltration level has certain clinical value in determining the survival of patients with primary esophageal cancer.

      Abstract:Objective:To report a case of isolated rectal tuberculosis(TB),and to made a literature review to improve the understanding of this rare condition. Methods:The data of clinical features,laboratory examinations,endoscopic manifestations,pathological charac-teristics,diagnosis and therapy of one patient with isolated rectal TB in our hospital were collected. Moreover,literature was summa-rized and compared. Results:The patient was hospitalized for abdominal pain,bloody purulent stool and emaciation. Endoscopy showed a huge isolated rectal ulcer. However,histopathologic biopsy found no caseating granuloma or acid-fast bacilli. Multiple acid-fast stool cultures and TB polymerase chain reaction(TB-PCR) assay were also negative. But the tuberculin purified protein derivative (TB-PPD) skin test was strongly positive. In addition,there was no evidence of parenteral tuberculosis infection. Moreover,after 3 months of diagnostic anti-TB treatment,the patient had a clinical remission. Endoscopy revealed the rectal lesion was much improved. The rectal ulcer was healed after a continuous anti-TB therapy of 15 months,no recurrence was occurred up to now. Conclusion:Iso-lated rectal TB is a rare disease without characteristic clinical,imaging and endoscopic features. The positive rates of caseating granu-loma or acid-fast bacilli found by histopathologic biopsy are rather low. However,TB-PPD test and diagnostic anti-TB treatmet are simple but effective strategies,which have important value for increasing the diagnosing rate of TB.

      Abstract:Objective:To compare the expression,affinity purification and enzyme kinetics against representative inhibitors of full-length human phsphodiesterase 4B2 fused with 6His-SUMO on N-terminus(SF-hPDE4B2) and its 152-528aa truncate fused with 6His-SUMO on N-terminus(ST-hPDE4B2),to reveal the superiority of ST-hPDE4B2 over SF-hPDE4B2 as the target for high-throughput screen of hPDE4B2 inhibitors as potential anti-inflammatory agents. Methods:The two fusion proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli BL 21(DE3) and purified through Ni2+-NTA;phsphodiesterase activities were measured via alkaline phosphatase-coupled malachite green assay of phosphate in high-throughput mode. Results:After affinity purification,ST-hPDE4B2 exhibited spe-cific activity nearly 40-fold higher and activity yield over 100-fold higher than SF-hPDE4B2;SDS-PAGE and Western blot of 6His tag supported that there were a lot of polypeptides degraded in both of the purified fusion proteins. Inhibition constants of (R)-Rolipram and papaverine indicated that SF-hPDE4B2 mainly existed in the high-affinity state while ST-hPDE4B2 appeared princi-pally in the low-affinity state for (R)-Rolipram. Conclusion:ST-hPDE4B2 may have some advantages over SF-hPDE4B2 as the tar-get for the screening of inhibitors as potential anti-inflammatory agents.

      Abstract (180) HTML (0) PDF 1.14 M (154) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Objective:To develop a nucleic acid sequence-based amplification coupled ELISA method for detection of invasive as-pergillosis(IA). Methods:In this experiment,the nucleic acid sequence-based amplification was combined to the high sensitive sys-tem of digoxingenin. The specific 18sRNA of Aspergillus was amplified by the isothermal digoxigenin(DIG)-labeling NASBA process,then the DIG-labeled NASBA amplicons were immobilized on streptavidin-coated microtiter plate by hybridized with a specific bi-otinylated DNA probe. The hybrids were colorimetrically detected by the addition of an anti-DIG antibodies linked to AIP and sub-strate(disodium 4-nitrophenyl phosphate). The specificity,sensibility and the clinical diagnostic efficiency of this method were eval-uated by detecting the total RNA extracted from the ten-fold serially titrated Aspergillus spores,the RNA extracted from the compar-isons and 82 blood samples(32 positive cases,50 negative cases). Results:The total RNA extracted from the ten-fold serially titrated Aspergillus spores was detected by NASBA-ELISA. The optical density value was linearly correlated with the logarithm of the spore amount(y=0.278x+0.119,R2=0.887),and this method could detect as little as 1 CFU aspergillums spore. The RNA extracted from the comparisons(E.coli,S.aureus,P.Aeruginosa,C.albicans,C.neoformans) and Aspergillus were detected by NASBA-ELISA. The results showed that NASBA-ELISA was highly specific for Aspergillus detection and did not cross-react with the non-target fungi or bacte-ria. The performance of NASBA-ELISA system was evaluated by detecting blood samples of 82 patients at high risk for IA. The sensitivity and specificity were 80.6% and 80.0%. The NASBA-ELISA A values were assessed by ROC analysis,area under the curve=0.755(95%CI=0.645 to 0.865). Conclusion:The NASBA-ELISA method can detect Aspergillus sensitively and specifi-cally,so it provides a new way for the molecular epidemiologic investigation and early diagnosis of IA.

      Abstract:Objective:to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of the hand-foot-and-mouth disease(HFMD) by di-viding different epidemic models according to the time series characteristics in 31 regions from 2010 to 2015. Methods:Time sequence features of HFMD incidence in different regions was extracted,including seasonal fluctuations,trends,autocorrelation and chaos,etc. Different time series epidemic patterns were divided by hierarchical clustering analysis. Results:Cluster analysis produced three types of epidemic patterns,namely,non-seasonal mode,single-season and multi-season seasonal pattern. Conclusion:For non-seasonal patterns,disease surveillance should be strengthened at any time to further analyzing the relevant factors. In the single-season and multi-season model,the appropriate preventive measures should be taken only in the high incidence period to reduce the possibility of a large area of epidemic disease.
